Any one have a hard time dealing with conflict? And shut down or feel like your spiraling? I’m finding myself in this situation and I try working out, eating healthyish, sleeping early, reading, shopping, but nothing feels stable.

Has anyone ever gotten their energy level back? Im so tired all the time, I could lay in bed for 2 days straight and not feel refreshed. I don’t feel the need to go outside ever. Idk how to be a working professional anymore, how did I ever do it?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Hi Guys,

Not a check-in, need some help and guidance. So I am 26 years old guy, weight is 76kgs. But I look like my weight is around 85kgs (that's what my friends told me).

I want to lose weight and fat, target is between 65-70kgs.

I was thinking to do jump rope and do some strength training at home (I have dumbbells) and eat little less.

Please advise what routine should I follow to lose weight and fat? Is jumping rope enough to achieve the target?

Thanks a lot. ❤

If you are feeling sick or something during the day and WFH, do you feel comfortable napping it off and then getting back to work and working late if needed? I have friends that say this is totally normal and okay but I feel weird about it and can never actually rest to feel better if I do lay down

Help! Does anyone remember a tv campaign that I think Droga put out for a snack or energy bar? It was a series of different characters talking to camera explaining why you’re going to need energy or nutrition for the day ahead. The one was a pilot, sitting in the cockpit, happily explaining various ways he was going to delay the flight. Another was a kid outside a school (who ends up peeing his pants) explaining how messed up your day was going to get because of him.

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

I had a problem concentrating on one task, reading for more than 5 mins, and just staying on track overall with work. I was okay in college, but I did poorly in law school bc of the my inability to focus and I started to feel that way since becoming licensed. I took a vyvanse yesterday and my productivity increased ten fold. I’ve always wanted to avoid medication and did so, but I feel like I need to look into getting prescribed. Has anyone had similar experience? I know, big topic w/ lawyers.

What's causing me so much stress about work? How can I slow my heart down? Sunday PM is a nightmare walking into the week.

Please help!

Are they following alphabetical system for naming covid variants?

French people are getting up to $7000 per month in the pandemic from their government. We do not have enough ICU beds. Our Senate/Congress cannot pass a stimulus bill. What is this dystopian reality?

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

Does anyone else get massive bruises after lifting? Not from scraping shins against the bar or anything but just popping blood vessels from a heavy set. I always thought this was pretty normal but some people seem really freaked out by it.

If I had covid and I still have the antibodies 15 months later (i’ve been getting the antibody test done out of curiosity) what’s the point of getting vaccinated? My double vaxxed friends are still getting covid

You ever get so tired you’re unable to fall asleep? Loads of smart people here so could someone explain it to me please?

Requesting thoughts on developing a registered agent / local business advice (contacts, defense, small real estate masters, etc.) client book.

Any advice on reneging an offer?

As someone currently applying to business school and seeing others I know enter their first year at elite schools, I feel an intense, crippling toxicity towards them. Extreme jealousy and feeling like I’m not as good. I don’t know how to get over this.

Want to use my Hilton points for a holiday and was wondering if the required points have to be in my account upon booking or whether they should be there upon check-in?

What’s the best or worst place to work in Portland right now?

I’m a mid level engineer and my team is overwhelmed. There’s more work than we can complete in the timelines that leadership/product has committed to, which is causing leadership to override technical decisions seemingly to meet those deadlines. An example would be routing all live traffic to a feature which was not fully tested, instead of waiting until testing is complete or having that change be dormant and the feature enabled later. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

Came across the Padgett Law group today at work. Anybody have any insight on what it’s like to be an attorney there?

Has anyone been approved for short term disability for depression? What was the process like?

How do psy/therapist sessions work? Hesitant about seeing one and I can't really pinpoint why. Also nervous about opening up and what I might be diagnosed with. Can anyone provide insight from exper?

I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about. However, within the first few weeks I suffered a major medical setback which led to a crippling bout of depression. I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.

I went from not caring about my life / work / anything to dancing in my house alone excited about every day two months after my psychiatrist put me on an SSRI

When I was little, I used to lie in bed looking at the ceiling and I would get this overwhelming feeling that the future was meaningless. I felt this pressure around me and an empty feeling inside like the one you get when going down on a rollercoaster. I used to cry myself to sleep back then. Haven't felt like that for a couple of years now.

Whew, what do you do if you are depressed out of your mind but seem to have it more together than your LDR SO who seems to be struggling more. I don’t think I can be like “yeah so I wanted to die again today” so I’m kinda hiding it. But I’m not doing that ok

I feel like a very bad storm is coming, and I’m scared.

Been feeling pretty great the last few days. Was able to reflect a bit and this Summer/Fall up until about a week ago were some of lowest points I’ve felt in my life. I’m glad I’m doing better now but looking for ways to better manage my emotions. I don’t want to have these extreme highs/lows. Any advice?

Any non-SSRI anti-depressants without any sexual side effects (other than Wellbutrin, which seems bad for anxiety)?

Has anyone tried HTP-5 of L-Tryptophan?

Colleague died over the weekend. Wondering why we don’t have more dialogue about mental health in this field.

I started taking Wellbutrin last week. I feel restless and low energy last few days. Also, feel bit dizzy sometime after the medication. Usually how many days will it take for the medication to work?

I hate my current job (no longer at BCG). Have been interviewing but no offers except for current one, which I was originally relatively excited about until I heard the numbers. Worse than my current role at this toxic company. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’m feeling very depressed, hopeless, and worthless. I don’t want to stay here but I also don’t want to take a step back. I feel like either is just more misery and that my life is falling apart.I just want to end it all.

I am having a serious meltdown right now as I am typing it. Broke up a few months ago, seeiously wanted to move out of EY which for some reason I am not able to get out of (received nth rejection from the interview just now). It just seems that my life is not going anywhere. Feel I am stuck in a prison and cant break free. Feel so claustrophobic!!! Has anyone ever felt like that!!
